1. A. At the beginning of each State fiscal year, and no later than August 15, the Office shall notify each participating community college of the total dollar amount of funds allocated to the institution for awards.
2. B. The Office shall annually allocate the funds appropriated for the Workforce Development Sequence Scholarship in the State budget based on a community college’s pro rata share of the total FTE enrollment in workforce development sequences, based on the most recently available Enrollment Report for Equated Credit Continuing Courses (CC3 report).
3. C. On a date established by the Office, each community college shall be initially disbursed half of the amount of their annual allocation as calculated under §B of this regulation.

4. D. The amount of total funds remaining after the initial disbursement shall be disbursed as follows:

   1. (1) A community college that has awarded at least 66 percent of their initial disbursement by December 31 shall receive the remaining half of the amount calculated under §B of this regulation in a second disbursement on a date established by the Office.
   2. (2) A community college that has awarded 95 percent of their initial disbursement prior to December 31 shall notify the Office and the Office may, at its discretion, provide the second disbursement to the community college at an earlier date.
   3. (3) If a community college has awarded less than 66 percent of their initial disbursement by December 31, the community college shall consult with the Office. If the community college determines, after consultation with the Office, that the community college is unlikely to need the entirety of the remaining 50 percent of the amount calculated under §B of this regulation, the community college may authorize the Office to retain all or part of the remaining 50 percent of their annual allocation for reallocation to community colleges that have awarded a higher percentage of their disbursement.
   4. (4) The Office shall calculate the reallocation of the funds retained under §D (3) of this regulation to community colleges based on a community college’s pro rata share of the amount of funds from the initial disbursement awarded to students by each community college by December 31.
   5. (5) The Office shall notify the community colleges of the amount of any reallocated funds they will receive no later than January 21.
